KPM CPAs & Advisors

#KPMCPAs was happy to co-host a recent employee blood drive with our building neighbor, Milestone Engineering (Milestone)! The folks at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) were awesome in the on-site Bloodmobile as they helped our 20+ individuals give blood to our friends and neighbors in need. Thank you to the donors from #TeamKPM, Milestone, and Rooney McBride & Smith, LLC (also building neighbors) for their contributions! If you are interested in giving blood, find out more on the CBCO website here: https://bit.ly/2Hhgbc8 #KPMCARES

This month, our #ClientsWithACause program supports the Ozarks Regional YMCA (the Y) and their Impact Campaign. The Y non-profit organization believes no one should be denied access to membership and/or programs due to the inability to pay. Through their Impact Campaign, you can help support the services they provide as 100% of the funds stay local $70 helps a child participate in sports programs, $475 provides one low-income child with a fun-filled week at Camp Wakonda, $700 supports 10 children in water safety programs, and $1,500 provides a single parent with one year of after school care for their child!

#KPMSpeaks to school finance students at Missouri State University! With 20+ years of experience performing school district audits across Missouri, #KPMAudit Shareholder Jon Cummings has vast expertise on the subject. He was asked to speak to future school leaders about the importance of an independent audit (and the process) for school districts. Auditors also serve as a valuable resource! They help school finance officials understand the ever-evolving reporting requirements that are needed to remain in compliance for the government funds they receive. We hope the students understand the process better - and maybe realize that audits are not as scary as they may seem!

The #KPMTax team has done it again! Thanks to the dedication and hard work from #TeamKPM, another tax deadline has successfully come to an end (Forms 1120 and 1040 extension deadline). #KPMCPAs kindly gifted everyone an awesome movie-themed treat filled with an assortment of candies, popcorn, and Redbox gift codes to pick your own movie.

Late summer/early fall means #KPMCPAs is on the links! We have been busy out and about supporting our clients through sponsoring and playing in their annual golf tournaments - something we can easily do while 6 ft. apart! This year has affected the ability of so many non-profits to hold their annual fundraising events, so we are glad when we can still safely participate and visit in person. Thanks to these organizations - Hartville R II School District Foundation, Ozark Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America, Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce, Ozarks Technical Community College Foundation, East Central College Foundation, @St. Louis Community College Alumni & Friends, Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce , and Ozarks Counseling Center. We hope your tournaments were a great success! #KPMSponsored
